who have 37 adventure-those who have climbed the 38 mountains, explored unknown parts of the world or 39 in small boats across the greatest oceans. now, however, there are people who look for an immediate pleasure from a 40 activity which may only last a few minutes or even 41 .i would consider bungee jumping to be a good example of such an activity. you 42 from a high place about 200 meters above the ground with an elastic rope 43 to your ankles. you 44 at up to 150 kilometers an hour until the rope stops you from 45 the ground. it is said that 2 million people around the world have now 46 bungee jumping. other activities, 47 most people would say are as dangerous as bungee jumping, 48 jumping from tall buildings and 49 into the sea from the top of high rocks.why do people take part in such activities as these? some psychologists(心理学家) suggest that it is because life in 50 societies has become safe and boring. not very long ago, peoples lives were constantly under 51 . they had to go out and hunt for 52 , and life was a continuous battle for survival.nowadays, according to many people, life offers 53 excitement. they live and work in relatively safe condition; they buy food in shops; and there are doctors and hospitals to 54 them if they become ill. the answer for some of these people is to 55 danger in activities such as bungee jumping.36. a. escaping fromb. taking part

went to take them back. four months later, my husband and i were invited to dinner. i took out a pair of shoes. i hadnt worn them since they were mended. i put one shoe on my right foot, and then i put the other on my left. but i felt that the other one was on the wrong foot. i took both shoes off for a closer look. they were nearly the same style, colour and size, but each was for the right foot. then i thought of the shoemaker. though i was sure he wouldnt remember me after such a long time, i called him. “thank goodness you called me at last!” he said happily. “an angry woman has been troubling me for months!”56. how many pairs of shoes did the woman take to the shoemaker to be mended?a. one shoe. b. two pairs of shoes. c. only three shoes. d. some pairs of shoes.57. the shoemaker _.a. was very careful with his work b. mistook one of the womans shoes for the other womansc. forgot the woman because it happened a long time ago d. was troubled by two men58. which of the following is right?a. the woman wore the shoes as soon as they were mended.b. both shoes were the same style, but different colour and size.c. both shoes were for the right foot.d. the shoemaker called the woman after a long time. bswimming is one of those activities that can be learned early in life. little children can learn to swim as soon as they walk. in fact, you need the same skills in walking as in swimming. however, i believe that five is the best age to learn. by five or six, a child knows fear of water, a very important thing to know. its wise to be afraid, to recognize true danger. young ones understand that the water can sometimes be very dangerous. to really benefit from swimming, every swimmer should learn, as soon as possible, these four basic strokes: butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, and crawl. i feel that one of these -the breaststroke is different from the others, since some young swimmers use this stroke naturally, without any training. in swimming there are certain rules every swimmer should follow: 1. never swim alone! no matter how good you are in the water, dont risk drowning by swimming alone. if you swim by yourself, with no life guards or friends with you, you may get into trouble. 2. dont go beyond your abilities. most swimmers know enough not to swim too far from the bank or the beach. showing off by doing dangerous tricks is no good. swim safely and you will continue to swim and alive. 3. dont smoke. swimming depends on a healthy body; good lungs are part of it. 4. work at any activity that builds muscles. 59. little children can learn to swim as soon as _. a. they can talk b. they start walking c. they have no fear of the water d. they are five or six years old 60. the author believes that fear of water is_. a. stupid b. sensible（明智的） c. dangerous d. not smart 61. the stroke that some young swimmers use first is_. a. butterfly b. backstroke c. breaststroke d. crawl 62. according to the passage, you should not swim alone because_. a. the water is too cold b. your parents would not be happy c. something in the water might attack d. you might drownctravel is exciting and summer is a busy period for holiday travel. many people will travel great distances in airplanes, cars or other vehicles. experts say people should know about other health problems that can strike when traveling by air. one of these is a condition called hypoxia (缺氧症). it results from a lack of oxygen to the brain. experts say the body begins losing oxygen minutes after an airplane leaves the ground. the air pressure in a plane during flight is lower than at sea level. this makes it more difficult for the body to effectively use the same amount of oxygen as it would on the ground. fewer oxygen molecules （分子） cross the tissues (组织) in the lungs and reach the bloodstream.the result is a five to twenty percent drop in the amount of oxygen in the blood. this reduces the amount of oxygen that reaches the organs of the body. one effect of this lack of oxygen to the brain is a headache. when this happens, the heart attempts to fix the situation by beating harder and faster. this can make the traveler feel tired.these signs of hypoxia are not dangerous in a healthy person. but a drop in oxygen level can cause a health emergency in people with heart or lung problems. they might lose consciousness or even suffer a heart attack.experts say that smoking cigarettes and drinking alcoholic liquids also reduce the bodys ability to use oxygen. so they suggest that people not drink alcohol or smoke cigarettes either before or during a flight. they also say persons with heart or lung problems should seek advice from their doctors before flying.63. the author writes the passage mainly to _.a. warn people in airplanes of possible dangersb. offer some advice on avoiding health problemsc. explain the causes and effects of hypoxiad. advise people not to smoke or drink alcohol64. according to the passage, what leads to hypoxia?a. the brain lacks enough oxygen. b. the air pressure in a plane is too high.c. our body needs less oxygen during takeoff.d. the bloodstream contains no oxygen molecules.65. the underlined part “fix the situation” means “_”.a. use more oxygen it needs b. increase the air pressurec. reduce the amount of blood d. bump more blood to the brain66. why should passengers not smoke or drink before flying?a. they weaken the bodys ability to use oxygen.b. smoking may pollute the air inside the airplane. c. drinking alcohol may raise ones blood pressure.d. drinking is forbidden at the airport.dzoos divide opinion: there are those who think it is cruel (残忍的) to keep animals locked up while others believe zoos are important for the survival of endangered species.to think that zoos imprison animals is to misunderstand what zoos are about. without zoos many of the creatures we love and admire would no longer exist. every single day, over one hundred animal species vanish. scientists predict that as early as 2050 one quarter of the earths species will become extinct(绝种的).some animals are in danger because they are hunted. worriedly, the population of tigers has already fallen by ninety-five percent. other species are in danger because of a lack of food. for example, there are fewer than 1300 giant pandas left in the wild.zoos have special breeding programs to help those animals in danger. these breeding programs are proving very successful. as irene shapiro from zoo and wildlife support says, “the puerto rican parrot has grown in numbers from just thirteen to about eighty-five and the golden lion tamarin monkey, which has almost died out twenty years ago, has been reintroduced back into the wild. ”unfortunately, not everyone understands this important role zoos play. for example, brian featherstone from the anti-zoo forum says, “i cant believe we take animals from the wild and put them in cages for the entertainment of the public! we should view them on film or tv in their natural environment.”however, this misses the point. a zoo does more than display animals to the public. it ensures their survival. without zoos you would not be able to see many of these animals on tv or anywhere else!67. whats the writers attitude towards zoos?a. he shows no opinion either for or against them.b. he thinks that they are unnecessary and cruel.c. he believes they play an important environmental role.d. he expresses a desire that more of them be built.68. the underlined word “vanish” in paragraph 2 most probably means _.a. remain b. disappear c. become rarer d. get killed69. according to the passage some people do not agree with zoos because they _.a. are too expensive to run b. put animals in dangerc. do not provide enough food d. keep animals locked up70. according to the writer, the most important function of the zoo is to _.a. make a lot of money b. entertain visitorsc. ensure animals survival d. educate the
